Re: Things to add to the FAQ page?

hm, maybe just a warning for Ubuntu users that the grub of gparted-live may not work with the files of grub2 of Ubuntu? If their grub fails after a resize/move maybe the rescue options of the Ubuntu install CD can fix grub?

By the way: gparted-live successfully aligned all my partitions (ntfs, ext4, swap)! I'm very relieved that I did not lose any data apparently, especially the data of my father. The longest resize/move took 4 hours (206 GB ntfs partition with 160 GB data).

Re: Things to add to the FAQ page?

If you have a suggestion for improvement of the note, then please let me know.

I am glad to hear you did not lose any data. This is the way GParted is designed to work.

My advice in future when moving or resizing partitions (with any partitioning tool), is to make a backup of all data prior to performing these operations. Backups of important data are always a good idea.
